NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming

Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a way of understanding the structure of how we think. We all think according to our five senses.

• We think in pictures, or imagination, ie. visually
• We think by remembering and imagining sounds.
• We think by remembering and imagining feeling sensations and also ‘feelings’ as in emotions
• We can also remember and imagine tastes and smells, especially when we are thinking of food

We also think in what could be counted as a 6th thinking mode and that is in words – talking to ourselves inside our minds.

When you start to recognise all the different sequences and combinations of how someone thinks, you start to realise why they are so good at what they are good at, and also how they have got themselves caught up in problems inside their own minds. NLP allows us to unravel the problems and make the best even better.

Because it is a study of how we think, it can include the thinking patterns that work in counselling and hypnotherapy as well as recognising and avoiding the patterns that do not work or get in the way. For this reason, all my counselling and hypnotherapy work is based on NLP.
